The
Andre Brunel 2009 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Cuvee Sabrine, which comes
from Brunels holdings in Tavaillan, is composed of 80% Grenache and
20% Mourvedre. It possesses more structure as well as more black and
blue fruit characteristics. Blackberry, blueberry, lavender, tobacco
leaf and meaty notes are intermixed with the tell-tale kirsch component
that comes from ripe Grenache. This offering displays slightly more
tannin and definition than the Cuvee Sommelongue, and is a big, hefty
Cotes du Rhone-Villages that should drink well for 7-8 years. |
